Violet Aitken is an artist based in Cheshire, CT, whose work addresses themes of self-identity through female ancestry and the obscurity of childhood memories through time. During her time at Roger Williams University in RI, she received the Fitzgerald Award in 2023 and the Senior Excellence in Visual Arts Award in 2025. She has recently shown her capstone senior works in the Collective Consciousness exhibition at the Bristol Art Museum, and now has returned to Connecticut to continue her work.

Aitken’s artwork is currently exhibited at Spectrum Gallery in Centerbrook, Connecticut.
